Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1502 - 16: Qing Yu Zi’s Secret, Nanluo No. 88, Third Realm Self Sect Tomb!

"Moreover, the target's luck is too good. In his first exploration, in just two hundred years, he found wealth enough to break through to the Second Realm."

"The target has reached the Second Realm?" He Yin Marquis's smile gradually faded.

"That's right, he broke through to the Second Realm, and it was a grassman avatar from the Self Sect that emerged."

"Why didn't you discover it earlier?"

"This..."

The deputy couldn't defend himself anymore.

Zhao Xing broke through to the Second Realm. Although the Grassman Skill is still relatively simple, because of the Three Gods Fate Palace as a Small Divine Power, his soul fluctuations are no different from his true self.

Moreover, the Three Gods Fate Palace cannot be deduced by cause and effect, at least not by their team, which is one of the reasons for the operation's failure.

Unable to discern the truth, they naturally assumed that Zhao Xing's avatar was his true self. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Of course, ultimately, it was the Artifact Spirit Cang Yu from the Yuanhai Royal Family that intervened and reported in advance to Du Yun.

"So, you didn't gain anything at all." He Yin Marquis's tone was calm.

The calmer the tone, the more afraid the deputy became.

"No, Marquis." The deputy waved his hand, and then half a grassman avatar appeared beside him.

It seemed frozen, still in a burning state, though only half its body remained.

"We brought back half the avatar of the target, and the Boundary Boat he used."

He Yin Marquis's face looked a bit better.

It was not a complete loss.

By capturing half of Zhao Xing's avatar, they could request a Fate Master to deduce further.

For a Tao Domain Realm to find a capable Fate Master to calculate a small Second Realm is not an issue.

"Bring it back immediately." He Yin Marquis said, "Don't let me down again."

"Yes."

He waved his hand, and the projection disappeared.

He Yin Marquis opened the Star Mirror, looked at the messages, and couldn't help but sigh.

If he couldn't solve the problem, he'd have to face the trouble from the Purple God Mansion.

"All investigations are severed, even the five hundred or more caravans that frequently traded with that indigenous dynasty have been cut off."

"I can't send anyone else. I must execute the backup plan." He Yin Marquis muttered.

...

In the Yueluo Cemetery, within the Void River, a small Flying Boat was advancing rapidly.

"It is now Shixin 609. It's been over six hundred years since entering the cosmic version, and fifty years have passed since the last chase."

Due to He Yin Marquis's pursuit, Zhao Xing had to postpone his adventure plans for the Yueluo Cemetery.

After breaking through to the Void Realm, he originally planned to go treasure hunting immediately, but later had to spend more time.

"Reaching the Void Realm, I can now roam the Void River."

"With deep control of the Spiritual Energy Origin, cultivation techniques stopped being practiced temporarily fifty years ago, focusing on improving spells and plant troops instead."

"The Source Technique advances to Void Skill, and Purple God Mansion's spells have all reached the Void Stage."

"Only my self-created spells 'Fetal Breathing', 'Cloud Folding', 'Yin Thunder Star', 'Golden Body Erosion' need improvement."

"I rented the [Enlightenment Space] from Yuanhai Palace, first to perfect my self-created spells to the Void Skill stage, and second to follow the footsteps of predecessors to practice 'Blood Cloud Realm', 'Yuan Magnetic Thunderstorm', 'Heavenly Tide', 'Purple Wind' to the Void Skill stage."

"Fifty years have passed, eight spells are all at the fourth tier of Void Skill, Cloud-climbing Vine has also reached the Second Realm Middle Stage, and my money is completely spent."

"With Source Technique at the Void Skill stage, having money provides ways to speed up progress. Insight into Small Divine Power and Great Divine Power, however, cannot simply be solved with money, not with small amounts at least—it requires a Tao Domain Realm Preaching Scholar to intervene."

"After earning enough to invite a Tao Domain Realm scholar, I can consider returning and relocating the Great Zhou, which won't be difficult." Zhao Xing thought secretly.

In the Ancient Country, to be an elite in the Third Realm is because it relies too heavily on money to buy resources for advancement.

"Even going bankrupt in the Third Realm cannot simply cultivate another Third Realm solely with money."

"At the very least, I need to excavate the tombs of a few with Great Divine Power."

Having to rely on himself slowly, who knows when he'd reach the Third Realm. To safely take the Great Zhou out of the Yuanhai Ancient Country, everything is built on strength.

To accelerate cultivation, money is needed—and lots of it!

"Small tombs aren't worth wasting my time; only the tombs from Nanluo's top 100 remain among the Third Realm tombs."

"Accumulate fifty thousand merit points, and I can become a first-class viscount of the Ancient Country, allowing access to the top 100 areas."

"First, gather some merits and small money in the range of 101-200."

...

With Zhao Xing striving hard, the Viper clan suffered.

In the Second Realm tombs, Viper Guardian Spirits and Void Hidden Caves are commonly used.

Since Shixin 609, Zhao Xing specifically targeted Second Realm tombs for excavation.

Under pressure, Zhao Xing's efficiency became astonishingly high.

In the first decade, at Nanluo No. 198, Zhao Xing excavated two Second Realm tombs, killed 757 Vipers, gained 600 million in wealth, and 2858 merit points.

In the second decade, at Nanluo No. 198 again, he excavated three Second Realm tombs, killed 925 Vipers, gained 900 million in wealth, and 4213 merit points.

In the third decade, Zhao Xing moved to a new location, Nanluo No. 173, killed 1245 Vipers, excavated three tombs, gained 1.2 billion in wealth, and 5314 merit points.

...

In the sixth decade, Zhao Xing went to Nanluo No. 155, killed 3905 Vipers, increased wealth by 2 billion, and gained 11247 merit points.

...

As time passed, with Zhao Xing stabilizing his Second Origin Realm boundary, he moved beyond the initial cultivation stage into the Second Realm Middle Stage.

With increasing proficiency in various Void Skills, the efficiency of killing Vipers naturally increased, as did the efficiency of excavating tombs.
